Chords for Glen Templeton "That's My Job"

_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
I _ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
woke up [Fm] crying late at night [Db]
when [Eb] I was [Ab] very young.
_ _ [Db] _
I had dreamed [Ab] my father had [Bbm] _
passed away [Eb] and gone.
_ [Ab] _
My world revolved [Fm] around him.
I [Db] couldn't lie there [Ab] anymore.
_ _ So I [Db] made my way [Ab] down the mirrored hall [Bbm] and tapped upon [Ab] his door.
And I said, Daddy, I'm so afraid.
[Bbm] How will I go on with [Ab] you gone that way?
Don't [Db] want to cry anymore.
[Ab] So may I stay with [Bbm] you? _
_ _ [Eb] _ And he [Db] said, [Eb] That's my [Ab] job.
_ _ [Db] _
[Eb] That's what I do.
_ _ _ Everything I do [Ab] is because [Db] of you.
To keep [Eb] you safe [Fm] with me.
_ _ [Db] That's my [Eb]
job, [Ab] you see.
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ [Ab] Later, we barely [Fm] got along. _
[Db] This teenage [Eb] boy and [Ab] he. _
Most of [Db] the fights, it seemed, [Ab] were over different dreams that [Bbm] we each held [Eb] for me. _ _
[Ab] He wanted knowledge [Fm] and learning.
And [Db] I wanted to fly [Ab] out west.
_ [Db] Said I could make it out there [Ab] if I just had the fare.
[Bbm] I've got half.
[Eb] Will you loan [Ab] me the rest?
And I [Db] said, Daddy, [Ab] I'm so afraid.
There's [Bbm] no guarantee in [Ab] the plans I've made.
And [Eb] if I should fail, [Ab] who will pay my way [Bbm] back home?
_ _ [Eb] _ And he [Db] said, That's my [Ab] job.
_ _ [Db] _
That's [Eb] what I [Ab] do.
_ _ Everything [Eb] I do is [Ab] because [Db] of you.
To keep [Eb] you [Fm] safe with me.
_ [Eb] _ That's my job, you see.
_ _ [Fm] _ Every person [Cm] carves a spot [Db] and fills [Eb] the hole with [Ab] light.
And [Db] I pray someday I [F] might.
[Eb] Light as [Bbm] bright as [Eb] he.
_ _ I _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ woke up early one [Fm] bright fall day.
To [Eb] spread the [Ab] tragic news.
_ [Db] After all my travel, [Ab]
I settled down [Bbm] within a mile [Eb] or two.
[Fm] _ _ [Ab] I make my [Fm] living with words and [F] rhymes.
[Db] And all this [Ab] tragedy _ should [Db] go into my head.
[Ab] And out instead [Bbm] as bits of [Ab] poetry.
But I say, Daddy, I'm so afraid.
How [Bbm] will I go on [Ab] with you gone this way?
[Eb] How could I come up with a [Ab] song to say [Bbm] I love you?
[Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Eb] That's my [Ab] job.
_ _ [Db] _ [Eb] That's what I [Ab] do.
_ _ Everything [Eb] I do [Ab] is because [Db] of you.
To keep [Eb] you safe [Fm] with me.
_ [Eb] [Db] That's my [Ab] job, you see.
_ _ _ [Eb] Everything I do [Ab] is because [Db] of you.
To keep [Eb] you safe [Fm] with me.
